selftests: drv-net: ncdevmem: Open /dev/udmabuf O_RDONLY

Browse source

Write permissions on the /dev/udmabuf device file are not required to
issue ioctls and allocate udmabufs. Applications should be opening this
file as O_RDONLY. The BPF dmabuf_iter selftest already does this. [1]

Users are pointing to these selftests as examples of how use udmabuf,
and encountering permission errors on systems where write permissions
are not available on /dev/udmabuf. Apply the principle of least
privilege to selftests which use udmabuf by removing the write access
mode from drivers/net/hw/ncdevmem.c.
